For me the idea is simply that the mind/body problem is not a scientific problem and "solving" it using scientific methods is impossible, but it doesn't mean it can't be "solved" by other means, typically religion. The only thing science can do is watch for exterior manifestations, and define a set of things that say "yup, that thing is conscious" in a way that can help make predictions. For example, I am the only being I know who can experience consciousness, so I can define consciousness as "being me", but it is useless, there is nothing of value in that definition. But there are plenty of other beings who look a lot like me, act like me, etc... (other humans), I think it is fair to consider them as conscious, that's better, but still, what predictions can we make of that? It is just a definition, we need rules of the kind "this thing can do X, therefore it is conscious, therefore it can also do Y", these rules have to be experimentally verifiable, or at least, falsifiable. The "advantage" of the mind/body problem not being scientific is that you can believe what you want and it won't contradict science. Think you have an immortal soul that will go to heaven after you die, as long as your soul and heaven are not observable physical objects, as far as science goes, that's fine, and so are all the other proposed solutions.
